Note: I wrote this yesterday but forgot to publish it to the blog, so you’re getting it now.

I’m feeling decidedly unmotivated today, which presents problems as I need to finish packing my belongings up this weekend and want to help my mum with stuff as well. We move on the 19th so it would be better to get as much done this weekend instead of leaving it to the last minute, which I’m prone to doing with most things.

I hate getting into these slumps of no motivation, for obvious reasons. It’s not at all fun, that’s for sure, but I just can’t be bothered. I’m tired, my neck is a bit sore and causing headaches, it’s hot. I don’t want to do anything! It’s so annoying. It’s like my default mood is “blah” instead of happy. I’m existing, not living, which sucks.

At least it’s fixable though, by making myself do stuff, and I tend to feel more lively and motivated when I’m in Auckland, which is where I’m moving to.

Speaking of which, it occurred to me recently that anyone following this blog might be confused about the move, so here is a brief explanation:

I was born in Auckland, skip to age 12 and my family moves to Gisborne. Over the last 8 years I’ve spent lots of time in Auckland as we’d go there several times a year. In September 2007 I moved to Auckland and stayed there until March of this year, when I came back down for a holiday. After that my situation in Auckland changed and I decided to come back down to Gisborne for the rest of the year, until the move back to Auckland. Incidentally I have probably spent more time in Auckland this second half of the year than I had anticipated, because my mum and I have been back and forth for various reasons and we spent about 2 months there, from July to October, when my eldest sister gave birth. So, next week we finally move, or I do as Mum will come back here for a bit as my dad still has a month of work left. The End!
